New to Blogging

Though new to the world of blogging, I am not new to the world of RSD/CRPS. I have had RSD for approximately 26 years and wasn't diagnosed until 8 years ago. Chiropractic, acupuncture and a brief attempt at PT were no match for this debillitating disease. By the time I was diagnosed, RSD had consumed my body and left me homebound. Like so many others, I know what it's like to be told repeatedly by doctors "I can't help you because I don't know what 's wrong.". Before the diagnosis, some people thought I was faking or exaggerating but that pretty much changed after the diagnosis, except that there will always be some who don't get it. I am blessed to have a good support system among family and friends and I pray the same for all RSD-ers. When I was first diagnosed I was helped tremendously by Linda Lang's book Living with RSDS and it is my hope that my book In the Blink of an Eye will likewise help others. Blessings to all RSD-ers. May you find relief, if not healing.
